Difference is that Nielsen boxes are somewhat randomly distributed.

Try this: get the Alexa toolbar, start some random page on GeoCities and visit it a few times a day, and ask your friends to do the same. Watch how many orders of magnitude your ranking climbs in a few weeks.

Regardless on what is randomly distributed or isn't my point is that most other webmasters would be bragging if their hits were that high for their own site. As far as your suggestion goes(get the Alexa toolbar, start some random page on GeoCities and visit it a few times a day, and ask your friends to do the same) would that be enough to get as high of a ranking as 411 has?

Mr. Zimmerman, please close it and ban that dude. I'm all for being diplomatic but sometimes 'tards should just be lit on fire and eradicated rather than waste everyone's time. Have a nice day like mick foley says.
